And no, Chad Jones is not as BIG of a disappointment as other names that you have mentioned, but he did not have the instant and lasting impact on the team that should have been expected given his billing.



He played as a true freshman, so yes -- he did have an 'instant' impact. He played as a true freshman in all 14 games on a national championship winning team.

How many 5*s do you think start their freshman year? Especially on defense.

Him taking over at LT brought our sacks down from 2.69 per game to 1.83 per game

Average yards rushing per attempt went from 3.67 to 4.45 too.

he never really got much better. he got bigger, slower, and had less of an impact.

he's basically still living off his sack/fumble against alabama in 2007- fact



I disagree with this.

Chad Jones played out of position for his first 2 years as a coverage nickel back, and had a very good junior year playing safety.

Rivals isn't projecting talent to the NFL. They are assessing skills for college.


I think most recruiting services project five star recruits to play as true freshmen. Of course they won't start if they are behind and allstar veteran at their postition.

fair enough on his utilization, but that doesnt change the fact that he wasnt a 5 star college player

What's your frickin deal, dude? Do you get off on slamming all of our players?

Do we have any players who are good enough for you besides PP?

I mean, seriously. Get a life.

You honestly think that the All-SEC nominations always go to the players most deserving of them?

I honestly think you're a unhappy, sad little person who likes to run down players with very little reason.

Name one player that I have "run down" other than Chad Jones... who I gave a reason for.

You were just running down Joe Barksdale and Ciron Black.

I'm done talking to you, man. You're a johnny-come-lately recruitnik who thinks criticizing our players makes you look informed.

It doesn't. It just makes you look small.

Show me where I said anything about how either of them played. I brought up Ciron Black as an example of how an All-SEC selection does not necessarily mean that the player was the best in the conference. A very very large portion of the vote has to do with name recognition.
